Here are a few things to keep in mind: 1. If the breadwinner and spouse have already stayed in the new or resale home, especially if they have: 1.1. Used the built‑in stove to cook a meal 1.2. Taken a bath there 1.3. Slept overnight in the new or resale home 2. If all three of these activities happened on the same day, then there’s really nothing more to discuss — it’s already considered “moved‑in.” 3. If you bring in a used washing machine but don’t actually use it, then in a practical sense, it’s generally fine. 4. The same idea applies to an old or existing dining table brought into the new home. As long as you don’t use it for proper d…

These are some of the considerations: 1. From the perspective of traditional symbolism, the actual “move-in” date is technically the first day you sleep overnight in the new home or apartment. 2. Also, under symbolic practice, placing a set of one’s night clothes on the bed can represent a move-in. For example, in a husband-and-wife situation, each person places a set of nightwear on the bed overnight. This symbolises a “move-in”. 3. Please note that auspicious dates are considered nice-to-have and not a must-have. 4. As long as the chosen day is not very inauspicious or clearly inauspicious, other types of days—such as an average day or a day with mix…

Dear Paixao, Usually, this is what many Chinese do when they move into a new home:- 1. Select an auspicious date. If one is not sure of a date, the two dates that are considered always auspicious are the 1st Day of the Lunar Month and the 15th Day of the Lunar Month. This is where both dates are on a full moon. The most recent Vesak Day holiday or (Buddha's Birthday fall on the 15th day of Lunar Month). 2. Does one have an altar or worship any deity. If yes, bring the `deity' on the same day as the day, one is moving into the house. 3. On the day of move: 3.1. First bring in the charcoal stove (usually the stove is made of clay and either in red or wrapped in red.) Red…

Dear Cecil, Note appended by Cecil: I have deleted the file: STREET MAP BEDOK RESERVOIR(1).GIF as it is captured from http://www.streetdirectory.com without Source & Credit to them (standard clause for educational purposes). I believe this site is quite "sticky" with their copyright maps. It is best to cut-paste the link to their website instead of saving their maps. We do not want to infringe on their copyright. My husband and I are interested in blk 10 of the project. There's a canal btw the unit and Bedok town park (pls see attached map). We can't tell what the facing is like due to the weird angle. Our 8 house report says that we should hv the front door facing we…

These are some considerations: 1. Several factors should be considered regarding home design and plumbing. Primarily, it relates to common sense, which Feng Shui principles often reflect. 2. It is not uncommon for homes to have a toilet situated directly above a kitchen. 3. However, a significant concern arises when sewerage pipes are positioned directly above cooking areas or places where food and drinking water are prepared or stored. 4. The rationale is clear: if a sewerage pipe were to leak, gravity would facilitate the flow of contaminants. 5. In some cases, homeowners have no alternative but to have sewerage pipes located above their sto…

Since you mentioned that it occurs when the year, month and base are equal to #6 x 3; in my opinion, I take it that it does not appear all the time. As due to time dimensions, especially the month can change and for the year, a year passes so fast. Thus time dimensions need to be taken into consideration, here. Another view point is that in other sectors; without the #5, but if there was the #9 e.g. As the water or mountain star, such combinations of #6 will instead kill or neutralize a good star number.

Dear Kathelyne Feng Shui has many distinctive flavours: 1. Poison arrows 2. Commonsense approach to Feng Shui 1. Poison arrows These are issues that cause issues such as sharp corners etc... 2. Commonsense approach to Feng Shui What you had mentioned i.e. a bedroom above a kitchen has more to do with "commonsense". This is because,(usually) thereseems to be a higher probability of a fire starting in a kitchen then anywhere else. And because of this, some would thus feel that having abedroom above the kitchen not a good idea! However, frankly a fire can be started anywhere else in a home such as carelessly leaving behind a lighted cigarette butt or ash etc... 3. …

Dear David, Yesterday, I posted a reply to a question on house hunting i.e. a user is interested in a second floor or storey unit. From a Feng Shui point of view, one should consider if there are any "threats" if any to the unit. The threats could be simple things like a landscaped garden tall thin trees like palm tree(s),or a garden lamp post slicing into any of thebalcony, bedroom windows,bedroom balcony sliding windows. Therefore, the greatest threat would come from these and sometimes even walk-ways that has a shelter. Especially if the roofof the shelteror even a club-house roof - could sometimes slice lower floors. Therefore, the major threatscomesgenerally, fr…

Dear Anon, Currently, the best units atGardens are those facing the main gate (pool) such as Blocks 3 or 7. These blocks are not affected by the temple. For example, the units under these blocks (facing Sin Ming Walk) are NE facing and very auspicious under current Flying star. If possible, avoid Block 1. And Block 9 (Winter) because of the afternoon sun. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. Usually, for such instances, it is best to get professional help especially if you are uncertain whether it is True or not. 2. Sometimes, your measurement(s) are not accurate - i.e. false alarm. 3. If it is true that your home falls on the void line, then it is best to get professional help to assess the situation and provide further advise. 4. If you want to DIY, then one of the most common methods is to purchase a "copper" ruler; re-do the front door floor tiles and embed the ruler strategically at an angle from the void line. This is one of the most common methods.

Good day Master Lee, I would appreciate greatly if you can advice if this property is inauspicious. My first impression of this property is that it is on a corner + at the entrance of the cul de sac, and the land has a trapezium shape, which maybe unfavorable in terms of fengshui. Thank you.

Dear Carina, Please see below:- 1. Ideally, please check that it should not be in the North sector of the home. 2. Where possible the stove should face inwards i.e. face inwards of the main door. If the above are met, it is still considered acceptable. Usually, a small table, be it hexagon, square etc.. (coffee table) will not make an impact on the house. Usually, the table should not have a poison arrow aimed at e.g. the sofa. As for the Ba Gua table, its angle or 8 corners should not pose a problem as it is not like the corners of a rectangle or square table at 90 degrees angle. I assume that the beam must be a concrete beam. If you are staying in Singapor…

General observations:- 1. Rough estimate is that most of the units are of Flying Star: Period 8, NE 1 or SW1. 2. Just be careful of sharp edges from another unit (stack). For example, stack 20; may have an edge or corner that is aimed towards stack 14 (perhaps a bedroom window) or vice versa. Stack 24 with 18. 3. As usual, best not to have afternoon sun soaking into master bedroom walls or thru windows of living, bedroom(s). 4. Again, club house roof fans out creating a sha qi particularly of concern is for stack 29 (less of a concern for stack 28). Thus depending on how high the roof is, avoid having it slice towards the window level of lower floor - stack 29. …

Dear Max, 1. Typically, the design of a commercial building is influenced by the kind of tenants or tenant mix it attracts, along with other elements such as the nature of the business. 2. When it comes to purely office spaces, I think this isn't a concern. However, for retail establishments, their success hinges on various business factors, such as foot traffic, among others. 3. As long as the office is not in a remote or hard-to-reach area, and if numerous tenants occupy the office space, I believe there shouldn't be any problems. 4. For residential properties, many people would logically prefer to be situated further away from noise, as well as from…

Dear Hoa Luong, 1. According to Feng Shui principles, it is advisable to avoid placing a mirror behind a cashier's counter, as well as on either side of it, particularly in finance or accounting settings. 2. Cats, like all living beings, possess emotions and the capacity to feel pain. It is worth considering the perspective of being born as one of these animals. 3. The primary concern with keeping cats as pets is the potential for allergies in some individuals, including children. Generally, pet owners tend to maintain hygiene through regular bathing. 4. While stray cats often groom themselves, feeding them may not be advisable. Similar to guidelines i…

On-site or Off-site House Hunting / Can or Cannot Buy: Further consideration: 1. There is no such thing as a perfect home, unless you build one yourself. 2. "Strike while the iron is hot." For condos, it is usually best to buy newly launched units. Leftover units are rarely that good—you seldom find a hidden gem among them. 3. For Housing Board flats, I understand that selection often depends on your queue number. With a longer queue, you may only have a choice of leftover units or "scraps." 4. You can also refer to our apartment number report to see which units within each stack are better, such as level 3 compared to levels 4 or 5, under our …

Please refer to the illustration taken from http://lovesigns.net Every six years, one would have met the worst pairing. Thus the animal sign opposite the animal sign is considered the worst pairing. Therefore, the rat's worst pairing is the horse. While the pig's worst nightmare is suppose to be the snake.
